Domestic Violence is a type of abuse in which someone close to you is hurting you.

If someone is abusing you emotionally, physically, and/or sexually, get help. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. You may also call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).

MENTAL HEALTH

“Peninsula Hospital's inpatient program is designed to provide 24-hour nursing/physician care and crisis intervention/stabilization services. Individuals who are admitted into Peninsula Hospital often require medical observation and regulation of prescription medications. Some may seek help because they are severely impaired in their thinking or are suffering from thought disorder. Others may be a danger to themselves or others due to suicidal or homicidal thoughts or psychiatric illness.”

Adult Alcohol/Drug Treatment: “An important feature of Peninsula Hospital's Inpatient Alcohol/Drug Treatment Program is our ability to provide a medically sound detoxification and address accompanying depression or other emotional problems. Peninsula interrupts the life-threatening disease of addiction, identifies contributing factors, and establishes a workable plan for a lifestyle that is free of alcohol and drug use.”

Wide range of adult mental health services, including a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) to render emergency service up to 72 hrs; Adult Indigent Care Program (AICP) for outpatient mental health services; and many other services.
